Astrophysics For People In A Hurry - Neil DeGrasse Tyson

I guess the whole point of this book was to talk about Astrophysics and try to explain it in short digestible chapters.  I struggled to understand a lot of it, it went way over my head but I did learn some facts.  I think most of us want to understand about the earth and space, how we came to be and where we are going, and this little books helps to explain these concepts.  It also makes me realize how insignificant we are in the universe, how large space is and how small we are hidden away.   And how happy I am if we don't search for life anywhere else in the universe.  4/5
